Romeo and Juliet

High school students do not hold back on their feelings. If they are bored, teachers will know it. Likewise, everyone around them will see if they are full of energy. So, when they find out they are going to read Shakespeare, teachers usually hear grunts, groans, and sighs. They assume it will be a mushy love story. However, once students discover Romeo and Juliet involves two people who got married almost immediately after meeting, they are eager to learn more. Honestly, the number of missteps and tribulations keeps students hooked on this story! Thankfully, there are amazing Romeo and Juliet lessons in the Romeo and Juliet Bundle to incorporate so many content standards. 

Romeo and Juliet Bundle 

I love to dispel student expectations that Romeo and Juliet is a typical love story. Thankfully, this bundle of Romeo and Juliet lessons includes many activities to ensure students understand the true story. 

Graphic Organizers 

There are graphic organizers for students to demonstrate their learning for any act or scene. For instance, there is a pre-reading activity to help introduce students to some of the themes in the play. They are always shocked to see some of these and cannot wait to begin reading to find out the reason behind them.  

Additionally, there are graphic organizers teachers can mix and match throughout the play to keep lessons fresh and exciting. On top of this, there are 22 prompts to customize lessons and discussions for your classes. There are even graphic organizers to track the plot and outline each character! 

If you don’t need the whole bundle, don’t worry! You can buy the Romeo and Juliet Graphic Organizers separately. 

Newspaper Project 

Teachers work hard to extend student learning through fun projects. Thankfully, the bundle includes a student-favorite project by creating a newspaper. They “report” on a significant event from the play, such as the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. When adding this project to your Romeo and Juliet lessons, you receive multiple templates, organizers, and peer editing guides. 

As an extension, students can even work in pairs or groups to create an entire newspaper. If you have multiple classes reading Romeo and Juliet, they can even read each other’s newspapers and provide feedback. 

Since all teachers have different needs, you can buy the Romeo and Juliet Newspaper in the bundle or alone! 

Word Wall Cards

As students continue to read, they may need clarification. With so much intense drama, misfortune, and conflict, it is easy to see why this happens! Thankfully, Romeo and Juliet lessons include word wall cards for many characters to track connections and relationships. 

No Prep Resources 

There is so much to analyze and incorporate when planning Romeo and Juliet lessons. Thankfully, the Romeo and Juliet Bundle is all no prep! Teachers just need to print and go. 

Honestly, Romeo and Juliet is such an exciting story to teach! Once students realize they are not reading a typical love story, their excitement to reach each day is contagious. Thankfully, the Romeo and Juliet Bundle provides amazing activities to enrich the learning of all students. Between the graphic organizers and projects, students will understand love, missteps, and tragedy through Romeo and Juliet lessons.
